For these systems, we show that an equivalent condition for zero entropy is the orbit closure of each point has a nice structure. To be precise, the affine systems on those spaces are zero entropy if and only if the orbit closure of each point is isomorphic to an inverse limit of nilsystems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-19T21:05:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37B05" ], "keywords": [ "zero entropy", "nilsystems", "orbit closure", "study affine transformations", "compact abelian groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151106374L" } } }
